Item No. 2 PC: 4-1-93 UP-93-1 Page 3 STAFF ANALYSIS POLICY CONSIDERATIONS: General Plan and Ztmin The site is designated as Limited Agriculture on the General Plan. The zone is AL-5, which is a consistent implementing zone for this General Plan designation. Churches are permitted in the AL-5 zone with an approved Use Permit. AREA/NEIGHBORHOOD COMPATIBILITY: There are three letters of opoosition attached to the staff report. The concerns are traffic and the septic system impact. Traffic: The applicant stated on the application that there would be 2 vehicle trips per day, Monday through Friday. On Sunday there would be 50 vehicle trips between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. The Department of Public Works threshold for requiring that a traffic study be completed prior to action on the application is 50 peak hour trips. The projected increase in the amount of traffic does not trigger that threshold. According to the Department of Public Works, Traffic Engineering 'Division, the Level of Service (LOS) for Micke Grove Road is LOS B. There may be some peak raffic for events at Micke Grove Park, which is located about 3100 feet north of the project site. The Department of Public Works has recommended as a Condition of Approval that a traffic study be conducted to determine the necessary improvements for the driveway and the possible turn lanes into the project site. Septic System: A Condition of Approval from the Environmental Health Division requires that a soil suitability and nitrate loading sI must be performed prior to the issuance of building permits to indicate that the area is suitable for septic tank usage. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS: The Initial Study that was p'epared for this project indicated that no significant, adverse impacts would result from this project. On the basis of that review, a Negative Declaration was prepared. In addition, a Certificate of Fee Exempt'on with a 'De Minimis Impact Finding' has been prepared which states that the project will not have an adverse effect on wildlife resources.
